The results of the recent COP16 biodiversity conference are disappointing. Individual countries are unwilling to invest in the conservation of biological diversity and the protection of endangered species. Dr. Fernando Trujillo from our partner organization Fundación Omacha was on site in Cali, Colombia, and reports on an alarming shift in global priorities that is making it increasingly difficult to gain much-needed support for the protection of endangered species and their habitats.
Despite these challenges, we remain determined and continue our work in close cooperation with partner organizations in Latin America. Regular exchange and joining forces are the key to success in species conservation.
Your support remains indispensable in this endeavor. Together, we can save endangered aquatic mammal species from extinction. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts—today and in the future.
